It is time to put the rest of the holiday decorations away.  This one might stay on the counter a bit longer.  It really doesn’t say “Christmas” does it?  There are a few other gingerbread men lurking around. 

The pattern for this block was in one of the recent magazines.  Since a book I am patiently waiting for has not arrived, I put them together.  This helps with my stash busting as well as keeping me at piecing.  The rick rack has discolored from age which makes it match better.   The face has two pink cheeks but did not look right.  Perhaps eyes in beads or buttons will be better.
